Before you order timber fire-rated screens: what matters
Finishing
Paint and stain are fine on the timber, but intumescent seals must stay clear of paint. We mask them during finishing.
Moisture and movement
Timber frames need dry conditions on site and acclimatisation before glazing to avoid movement around the glass.
Beads are part of the rating
Bead profile, height and fixing type and spacing are all taken from the test. Short-cutting the fixings is a common reason screens fail inspection.

Sometimes. If the frame can be shown to be suitable, we can replace non-rated glass and add the correct seals and beads. Where it cannot, replacement is the honest answer.

Yes. The timber can be painted, stained or lacquered. Intumescent seals are kept clear of paint.

Yes. We survey and install in Redhill and across Surrey, including the RH1 district and nearby Reigate.
